Saudi Arabia does NOT issue Iqama for expats with pre-existing psychiatric conditions.

Anyone who have tested positive for Hep A, B, C, Cholera, Malaria, Syphilis, HIV/AIDS, and TB, will be deemed unfit and NOT receive iqama.

Basically, all candidates should be reasonable fit, being overweight or obese is fine, however, usually both come with additional health conditions, hence, the medical examination.

If you have passed medical exam for coming in KSA, do not worry about medical exam for iqama done here. 

Thanks! So I guess they won't be making an issue of my heart condition.

@RedTrumpet Quick question please. Are these the only tests that they look at? Or are there other ones as well?

"Anyone who have tested positive for Hep A, B, C, Cholera, Malaria, Syphilis, HIV/AIDS, and TB, will be deemed unfit and NOT receive iqama."

Google GAMCA guidelines and see the list of tests.  That is what they look for.

@RedTrumpet so being obese and overweight is fine??? somhow a lot of test centers are saying that thee min your weight is entered in their system , an  obese person would be declared unfit.

please help.

Hello - I’m applying for the visa, everything is clear except for a mild gut/stomach parasite infection, blastocystis hominis. Should that be a concern for me?
